Chapter 1246 Asura vs Amelio
Seref, his gaze piercing despite his haggard appearance, remained silent, fixated on something invisible before him. His black hair fluttered wildly around his pale, drawn face, eyes like emerald fires set deep within their sockets.
Interrupting the silence, the spectral figure on the bicycle, wearing a ludicrous duck mask, snapped his book shut. "Amelio, Seref is preoccupied," the Storyteller chimed in a voice that whistled like the wind. "He\'s examining the nuances of the Level Up Legacy."
Scoffing, Amelio\'s voice was dismissive as he flexed his massive arms. "Bah, that Legacy nonsense! Real strength comes from the heat of battle, not from playing games."
Finally, Seref spoke, his voice like gravel, "That is precisely what the Legacy achieves, Amelio. It incentivizes combat, turning survival into a relentless game. It makes the fight... enjoyable."
Amelio\'s laughter rumbled deep from his chest, a sound as unsettling as it was loud. "A game, you say? Ha! That\'s classic Arthur Netherborne. He once overpowered me by pushing my strength beyond its limits, making my own body my enemy. But now," he clenched his fists, the air around them crackling, "with the worlds merged, I wield my full potential—enough power to obliterate nations."
Rising, Seref\'s figure was stark against the chaotic backdrop, his black cloak billowing as if mourning the sky. "There will be no destruction of nations, Amelio," he declared, his voice commanding silence even from the winds. "The world has endured enough. As for my son, Arthur... he chose a path not of the savior but of the catalyst. By merging the worlds, he sacrificed the simplicity of heroism for a complexity that even he may not yet fully understand."
Turning to face the sprawling vista of turmoil and transformation below, Seref continued, his tone a mixture of reflection and resolve. "Arthur believes in the potential of humanity, in their capacity to rise above, to adapt and overcome. The Legacy is his gamble, his hope that by forging people in the fire of necessity, they will emerge stronger, better."
The Storyteller, still perched whimsically upon his bicycle, nodded slowly. "It\'s a risky bet," he mused, his voice a murmur akin to rustling pages. "Human nature is fickle. Power can corrupt as easily as it can elevate."
Amelio, his grin never waning, looked out across the land. "Then let\'s see how high they can rise before they fall," he proposed, a wild spark in his eyes. "And maybe I\'ll pay a visit to Arthur, after all, to see if his new world has a place for the likes of me."
Seref watched the Sin of Greed with a weary yet unwavering gaze. "Seek not to test his limits, Amelio. Arthur\'s world is not one of unbridled power but of balanced strength. The battles that lie ahead," he paused, his eyes narrowing as if seeing beyond the horizon, "will need more than might to be won."
As the darkened clouds churned above them, the air heavy with the promise of impending confrontation, the mountain seemed to shudder under the weight of the powerful presences gathered atop its peak. Amelio, eyes alight with the thrill of the challenge, stepped forward eagerly, his massive frame poised for battle.
One-Armed Asura, his white robes fluttering as if echoing the turmoil in the skies, held his ground, the gleam of his long sword reflecting the sparse light that broke through the clouds. His eyes, piercing and relentless, scanned the trio before settling on Amelio with a steely focus.
"I am the One-Armed Asura, Guildmaster of God Blade, the foremost guild in this world," he announced, his voice booming across the chaotic landscape. "I have come to confront the Calamity of Greed that has reared its head in these troubled times."
Amelio\'s response was a wild, exhilarated laugh, his voice booming louder than the thunder above. "At last! A worthy challenge!" he roared, his entire being vibrating with the anticipation of a fight.
But before he could leap towards the sky, Seref\'s firm hand clasped his shoulder, pulling him back with a strength that belied his haggard appearance. Turning to face the One-Armed Asura, Seref\'s expression was grave. "I am Seref Silvera," he introduced solemnly, his voice carrying a weight that momentarily stilled the wind. "And while Amelio never shies from a battle, he is no ordinary opponent. I would not see you fall today, Asura, not when you command my respect."
The One-Armed Asura\'s laughter echoed, rich and fearless as he raised his sword, the blade slicing through the air with such force that it seemed to split the very clouds above. With a dramatic flourish, he unleashed a sharp storm, the force of his Blade Intent shredding the environment around them—slicing through stone and timber without ever touching them physically.
The Storyteller, unable to contain his excitement, nearly toppled off his bicycle. "Master of the Blade Intent!" he exclaimed, his voice a pitch higher with awe. "Such Spiritual Arts are said to be wielded only by the gods!"
With a humble chuckle, One-Armed Asura shook his head. "This power was not born of divine intervention but given through the Level Up Legacy," he corrected. "A final gift that allowed me to hone my skills to their peak. And now, to repay that gift, I must perform a grand feat—like extinguishing the Sin of Greed."
Amelio\'s reaction was immediate and explosive. Stamping his foot, he triggered an avalanche, sending rocks and snow cascading down the mountain\'s side. "Enough talk!" he bellowed, stepping forward, his entire demeanor radiating an unbridled fury. "Let\'s see if this old man\'s blade can keep up with my greed!"
Seref, his face unreadable, stepped back, his cloak billowing around him as he retreated. "Survive this if you truly have mastered the Blade Intent, Asura," he said, his voice a low murmur lost in the rising tumult of the landscape.
The battle that ensued was titanic. Amelio, embodying the raw, uncontrolled power of greed, clashed with One-Armed Asura, whose every movement was an expression of refined martial prowess. The mountain trembled under their feet, cracks spiderwebbing across its surface as their powers collided.
One-Armed Asura moved with a grace that belied his age, his one arm wielding the sword with a mastery that turned every strike into a deadly dance. His Blade Intent not only cut through physical forms but seemed to slice through the very fabric of reality, creating gusts of sharp winds that threatened to slice through anything in their path. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Amelio, undeterred, met each attack with a laugh, his own strength surging in wild, chaotic bursts that sought to overwhelm the old master through sheer force. The ground around them was torn asunder, creating a ring that marked the boundaries of their epic struggle.
As the duel reached its climax, the rest of the world seemed to hold its breath. The Storyteller, scribbling furiously, captured every moment, his pen flying across the pages of his book. Seref, standing at a distance, watched the battle with a mixture of apprehension and admiration, his thoughts undoubtedly on the implications of its outcome.
The conflict was not just a battle of strength but a clash of philosophies—Amelio\'s unrestrained hunger for power versus One-Armed Asura\'s disciplined mastery over his own strength. It was a spectacle that transcended the mere physical confrontation, becoming a symbolic struggle of what it means to wield power responsibly.
As the battle raged, One-Armed Asura\'s technique began to take its toll on Amelio. Each strike of Asura\'s blade, while often not touching Amelio directly, left echoes of energy that resonated painfully within the Sin of Greed. The precision and depth of Asura\'s skill were such that he could exploit the smallest opening, the briefest lapse in Amelio\'s wild assaults.
However, Amelio\'s resilience was formidable. Fueled by his inherent nature as the Sin of Greed, his ability to absorb and redirect energy meant that he was far from a straightforward opponent. Each time Asura\'s blade intent seemed to get the better of him, Amelio adapted, his own greedy essence learning and evolving in response to the threat, making him increasingly dangerous.
The climax of their battle arrived in a spectacular fashion. Amelio, growing increasingly frenetic, unleashed a massive surge of power, his greed magnifying his strength to monstrous proportions. The mountain itself seemed to wail under the pressure, cracks widening and rocks tumbling down its slopes.
In response, One-Armed Asura centered himself, his aura condensing into a serene yet potent force. With a calm that belied the storm around them, he executed a series of swift, precise movements, each accompanied by a soft whisper of his blade cutting through the air. This was the true essence of Blade Intent—turning the space and air into an extension of his will.
With a final, thunderous clash, their energies collided in the center of the battlefield, sending a shockwave that blasted outward, flattening trees and scattering debris for miles around. The force was such that both combatants were thrown backward, landing heavily on the torn earth.
As the dust settled, Amelio was the first to rise, his body heaving with heavy breaths, his expression a mix of exhilaration and fury. Despite the intensity of their battle, it was clear neither had yet gained a decisive upper hand. Amelio\'s laughter, rough and ragged, echoed across the mountain. "What a fight, old man! Your blade is as sharp as the legends say, but I am not done yet!"
One-Armed Asura, also struggling to his feet, leaned heavily on his sword, used now more as a support than a weapon. His face was lined with fatigue, yet his eyes burned with an undiminished fire. "Nor am I, Sin of Greed. Your power is immense, but it lacks purpose other than self-serving hunger. That is your weakness."
